The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards nominees have been announced! We have chosen the five sexiest videos to be released since the Rihanna S&M video controversy (the racy video is still banned in some countries). These are the videos you dance in your underwear to in the morning and get busy to at night. And we promise to vote for Adele some other time.
LA guy makes a viral video love letter for his long-distance girlfriend called "I Hope This Gets To You." How romantic. Or is he promoting a band called The Daylights?
Lady Gaga is no stranger to controversy, and she's currently gleefully courting it with the video for her latest single, "Alejandro." We see Gaga dancing and writhing around, while we're bombarded with controversial images: scantily clad, goose-stepping men, rosary bead munching, and lots of simulated sex—including the aforementioned scantily clad soldiers having their way with a nun. Is it rape? Is it consensual? It's hard to tell. Either way, it's going to offend a lot of people.
Jesse James must love Erykah Badu right about now, and not just because she's a tattooed woman who likes to take her clothes off. But it's because of Erykah's recent stunt in the buff that she's currently hogging the media spotlight, giving Jesse a small respite. In the video for her new single, "Window Seat," Erykah walks through downtown Dallas, shedding her clothes as she goes, and then falls to the ground when a shot rings out, "killing" her right next to the spot where John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963.
While directing Mariah's newest video which includes a love scene with a man other than her husband, Cannon reportedly "struggled" Who can blame him? Cannon should take the blame for his failure to anticipate the trauma of watching his partner pretend to do the dirty with a model while making the promo for "I Stay In Love". Er, what exactly did he expect? Cannon says: "We did it in, like, one take and I had to kick the dude out. It was one of those situations where I wasn't intimidated but I could've knocked him out at any point. He was playing, like, a fictional character, but I could have done without it."
You know how a lot of people claim to be friends despite breakup or divorce? And typically you don't buy it at all? It looks like Pink and Carey Hart are the exception that proves the rule. Carey makes a fun cameo in Pink's new video about their split. Weird.
If you haven't already seen it, check out Katy Perry's video for "I Kissed A Girl." The song is number one on Billboard's Hot 100 and the "I Kissed a Girl" video is a perfect pop confection: slightly transgressive, pinks, full of girls dancing in lacy reds and golds, feathers, guitars.
